Overview

• The U.S. opens a new factory in Mesquite, Texas, to produce 155mm artillery shells for Ukraine.
• The facility aims to produce 30,000 rounds per month, contributing to a larger goal of 100,000 rounds monthly by 2025.
• Current U.S. production stands at 36,000 shells per month, with the new factory expected to nearly double this output.
• Despite increased production, U.S. output remains significantly lower than Russia's estimated 250,000 shells per month.
• The U.S. has also provided Ukraine with plans for over 1,000 weapons to bolster its domestic arms production.
